My camera couldn't quite capture the aromatic steam.

Whenever I go back to Kobe, I want to eat: udon, yakiniku, curry, waffles. 
This time I had the curry and waffles.

Kobe is famous for its baked goods; these include Manneken waffles.

Smell of nostalgia: Hyogo Foreign Students Dormitory (2 years)

Coco Ichiban isn't bad either

Terrance had the squid salad as well.
